SUMMARY:Birmingham: Pigs Take Precedence (New Street in 1817)
DESCRIPTION:Pigs Take Precedence (New Street in 1817)\nSpeaker: Paulette Burkill\n  \nIn Handsworth Historical Society’s collection is a ten-page booklet\, published for some of her friends in January 1877 by someone we know only as LB of Bromsgrove House\, Aston Manor\, with her memories of New Street sixty years earlier in 1817\, when she was only twelve. This illustrated talk takes us up one side of the street and back down the other side\, with its fascinating mixture of shops\, businesses\, hotels and private houses\, so difficult to imagine today.  \nPaulette has been Secretary of Handsworth Historical Society (formed 1952) since 1986 and now looks after the majority of their archives at home after the Society relinquished their 47 year tenancy of Handsworth Old Town Hall in January 2025\, as they could no longer afford the upkeep. She also helps with enquiries to the Society. \n  \n

SUMMARY:Wolverhampton:  The Extraordinary Story of Sabrina Sidney
DESCRIPTION:Sabrina was at the bottom of the eighteenth-century pile; female\, abandoned and illegitimate.  But then she was found chosen from one of the Thomas Coram Foundling Hospitals to become an Apprentice Wife: the subject of a unique experiment in education and matrimony undertaken by a gentleman named Thomas Day. \nFriend to some of the men who powered both the Enlightenment and the Industrial Revolution\, such as James Watt and Erasmus Darwin\, Day believed the answer to society’s ills lay in education. A practical\, rational and purposeful education that would breed up a new generation of Enlightenment wives. Sabrina would epitomise this education and in so doing\, would become Mrs Thomas Day. \nPresenter:  Kate Croft \nMembers and Visitors alike are welcome to join Wolverhampton group for this fascinating tale of the real life Pygmalion. \n  \nDoors open at 7.15 p.m. for a 7.30 p.m. meeting start. \n
